Bicine (N,N-Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)glycine) CAS 150-25-4

よくある質問 — 技術・供給について

• 質問:

  バイシンとは何ですか。グリシンやTricineと同じですか？

  回答: Bicine is N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)glycine, CAS 150-25-4, with formula C6H13NO4 and molecular weight about 163.17 g/mol. It is a discrete zwitterionic biological buffer and chelating agent, not glycine, Tricine, HEPES or a ready-to-use buffer solution.
• 質問:

  バイシンに最適な pH 範囲は？

  回答: Bicine is commonly useful in biochemical and analytical buffer systems around pH 7.6 to 9.0 at 25 C, with a reported pKa near 8.3. The exact working pH depends on temperature, concentration, ionic strength and the intended enzyme, electrophoresis or crystallization protocol.
• 質問:

  What is Bicine used for?

  回答: Bicine is used as a buffering and chelating component in enzyme reaction buffers, electrophoresis buffers, protein crystallization, and other biochemical or analytical methods. The required grade depends on the assay sensitivity, target pH, ionic strength and cell-culture or research use.
• 質問:

  分析用・細胞培養用に確認すべき規格は？

  回答: Confirm assay, residue on ignition, heavy metals or elemental impurities, pH of a defined aqueous solution, appearance, water or loss on drying, and relevant UV absorbance. High-sensitivity methods may require additional endotoxin, trace metal or bioburden data.
• 質問:

  What are the key physical properties and storage conditions for Bicine?

  回答: Bicine is normally a white crystalline powder, very soluble in water, with a melting point commonly reported around 185-195 C and possible decomposition at the upper end. Store it at room temperature in a dry, tightly closed, moisture-protective container away from strong oxidizers.
